Meet at 10 am for a 10.15 departure. The Spring Stride will leave the Duke
William in Starkholmes at 10:15am and after following the top of High Tor
continue on uphill to Bilberry Knoll. We will then head off down into the Derwent
Valley taking in the newly restored Aqueduct Cottage before climbing up to
Holloway where there is a possible coffee venue. We then climb up to Long Lane
to cross to the Jug and Glass at Lea for a drink/ lunch stop. We will return to
Starkholmes via Dethick and Riber. The whole route is just over 10 miles with
the opportunity at several points for a short cut (self-guided) back to the lunch
stop or the end for those who are nursing surgery, injury or exhaustion.
